Know Your Accuracy Limits

An 8-inch paper plate is the standard target for establishing deer
hunting accuracy. An 8-inch target is about the same size
as the vital area of a deer. You need to be able to hit the paper plate
consistently at the same distance and from the same shooting position
you will be using when hunting. The fact that you can hit an 8-inch
target at 100 yards from a bench rest does not mean you will be able
to do the same from a standing or kneeling position.

Before hunting, practice until you are confident you can hit the
required target at the distances and from the shooting positions you
expect to use in the field. When hunting, limit your shots to your
most accurate range.
